Log. encoder

Traceable

Yes

Functional Description

Displays the position of the logical axis.

The position has a maximum which is calculated according to the following formula:

PositionMax = (231 / 219 * FeedConstant * GearIn/GearOut) - 1

If the maximum position is exceeded, the position is set to the negative maximum value.

NOTE: In case of overflow, no diagnostic messages is triggered by the PacDrive system.

Example

  • FeedConstant = 360 units/rotations

  • GearIn = 1

  • GearOut = 4

PositionMax = (231 / 219 * 360 * 1/4) - 1 = 368639

Consequently, values from -368639 to 368639 are possible in the parameter Position.
